Monsters are listed in much the same ways as normal classes, though they tend to have a much larger list of special Traits and Abilities. When playing a Monster you must always carry a complete description of the Monster on you, have a copy for the Reeve and wear appropriate garb.

From the Rulebook

No sword and sorcery setting is complete without monsters, those creatures from imagination or legend, both good and evil, that are somehow more (or less) than human. Monsters in Amtgard can represent the smallest, friendliest sprite, the largest most fearsome dragon, or anything else in between.
Examples
Centaurs, Dragons, Dwarves, Werewolves, Vampires, Deadly Slime.
Monster is a special class, playable only in games where the game designer and local monarch have given their permission for the class to be used. A player playing Monster in a class battlegame is identified by wearing two Eye Class Symbols. The eyes may be of any solid color on a contrasting background. A player’s level in the Monster class determines which Monsters they may portray. For more information and rules regarding the Monster class please refer to the Dor Un Avathar.
